Canonical issues: www vs. non-www January 4, 2008
Posted by Guy Cook in : Blogs, Frontpage, internet-marketing , add a commentA portion of some good spider information at http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articles3/spiders-301-redirect.htm
–start paste–
Canonical issues: www vs. non-www There’s been much talk lately of canonical issues and search engines. This is where both the www and non-www versions of your pages are listed in a search engine. This is said to possibly trigger a duplicate content penalty and/or split page rank. If this is of concern to you, you may wish to use the following, but be aware that you may suffer a further loss of traffic while the engines sort out what’s what. This example is where you wish to direct all non-www traffic to www. Add the following to your .htaccess file.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Ensure that all your links to folders always end in a trailing / if there is no filename after that link.
FrontPage users: in addition to the above, you’ll also need to change the .htaccess files in: _vti_bin
_vti_bin /_vti_adm
_vti_bin/ _vti_aut Replace “Options None” to “Options +FollowSymLinks” Those folders are part of your FrontPage extensions on the server, so you’ll need to gain access via FTP. Note: test, test and test again after making changes. Test *immediately* after implementing 301 redirects. If you find anything wrong, remove the redirect immediately. User a server header checker to ensure that you’re getting a correct 301 response when using the old URL.

Here are 8 dynamic marketing tips to help you increase your
sales and profits fast.
1. Don’t Just Sell Benefits
Don’t just tell prospects what they gain when they buy your
product or service. Tell them what they lose if they do not
buy it. Most people fear loss more than they desire gain.
Customers want your product or service to enjoy the benefits
it provides. They will want it even more when you remind
them of what they lose by not buying it.

Intricate Choreography January 24, 2006
Posted by dschmaltz in : Blogs, PureSchmaltz , add a commentIntricate choreography rarely succeeds. The impulses that encourage you to split resources between projects, tasks, and goals usually overlooks an individual’s true divisibility. Following two masters consumes more attention than following one.
One attention divided by two does not create one half. Nor does it create a short-time whole. It creates something more like one third. Who took the other one third that mathematics said would be available to complete the work? Think of that time being spent changing shoes, clearing then re-populating the desk, getting oriented to the different focus, or simply lost, like heat, in the transfer. It will really be lost, and attempting to recover it will only further fragment the time available.
The dilemma you face when this tactic seduces your otherwise solid reasoning asks you to integrate some new information. Creating intricate choreography denies this integration. Exactly equivalent to thinning paint so it will cover more surface, creating Intricate Choreography works on paper. It appears to completely resolve the difficulty, until you actually apply it to the difficulty.
You will have no problem enlisting people in this response. Even those most stretched by the re-assignment will find this tactic more immediately acceptable than any other available response. No need, certainly, to completely replan because of this little perturbation. We should be able to absorb some of this shock without completely rethinking our approach.
You will eventually find yourself rethinking your approach. Usually after some time creating an Intricate Choreography that didn’t deliver as it seemed to promise.
